Holy Week Missions! March 4, Fr. John

Transcription

1 March 4, Fr. John Holy Week Missions! We re on a mission! Yes, by our bap sm, God has given us a mission to share the Good News. This year at CCASTA we are taking up that mission once again as we come together as a faith community to share the Good News and serve those less fortunate. On Saturday, March 24, we will be hos ng our second annual Holy Week Missions. This is a chance for all of us from Gen Z to the Greatest Genera on to come together to walk with Jesus through the last days of his life, and enjoy lunch fellowship, and serve together. If you didn t make it to last year s missions, here s what a few people had to say about it: Humbled by God s mercy, we seek to follow Christ and live the joy of the Gospel through love and service. -Mission Statement con nued

4 Tweet of the week from Fr. John: Knowing facts and stories about Jesus as a person from history is very different from knowing Him as our Lord and Savior. How have we come to know Jesus ourselves?
